What a stroke of luck! Her birthday is 1/23 which is really easy for her kids to remember, 1-2-3. Then again, I needed Facebook to remind me since I had not placed it in my electronic datebook (fixed now).
Let’s see, Cindy shares her birthday with Gil Gerard, aka Buck Rogers when we were kids; Robin Zander, lead singer of Cheap Trick; Princess Caroline of Monaco; John Hancock of signature fame; German mathematician David Hilbert who’s contributions have helped figure out Quantum Mechanics (I understand very little of that); iconic cowboy actor Randolph Scott; offbeat writer/comedian Ernie Kovacs; and French actress Jeanne Moreau.
As for history: the first female American doctor was recognized, a Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell who is also considered a founder of gynecology; Madeline Albright is sworn in as the first female Sec’y of State; and Nixon announces the peace plan for the Vietnam War.
Pretty impressive date I’d say for a birthday.
If you know her, drop her a line and wish her well. I do owe her a phone call which she granted me on my big 4-0. I bet her son Gus has made Cindy a special gift with the help of Dad.
Awww…what a nice entry! I also share my birthday with Tiffani Thiesen (barf) and Mariska Hargitay (love her!).
